  • Patent number: 11197743
    Abstract: A method for generating a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data using a plurality of teeth (10) and a prosthesis base (12) to be manufactured, characterized in that the generatively or subtractively generated teeth (10) and/or the generatively or subtractively generated prosthesis base (12) are manufactured having oversize, apart from regions of the teeth (10) and the prosthesis base (12) on which the teeth (10) and the prosthesis base (12) abut against each another and/or are joined or connected to each other, and in that the teeth (10) and/or the prosthesis base (12) are subsequently brought to the desired original dimension, in particular milled, with at least partial removal of the oversize (30, 32).

  • Publication number: 20210255600
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a dental restoration, comprising the steps of generating (S101) a three-dimensional dataset for describing the spatial shape of the dental restoration in a blank; adding (S102) the spatial shape of the dental restoration to a dataset of the blank; and integrating (S103) spatial data for holding pins for fixing the dental restoration into the three-dimensional dataset of the blank by a machine learning algorithm (103).

  • Publication number: 20190167392
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data, using multiple teeth present in a dental arch (14) and a prosthesis base to be produced, characterized in that the prosthesis base is rough-milled by means of a milling tool, i.e. is milled in a first step, and in that the prosthesis base present as a semi-finished product, in particular in regions of the prosthesis base on which the teeth and the prosthesis base abut against each another and/or are to be bonded to each other, is partially milled, i.e. is milled in a second step, by means of an in particular different milling tool, thereby being brought to a target height which corresponds to the desired bonding gap between the prosthesis base and the tooth or dental arch (14).
